Patient care comes first at The Station where staff members bring superior medication and customer service through the window of personal experience. With growers and tenders having seen the success of the natural remedy in their own lives, potency, care and performance are directed toward medical solutions.

Through the jungle of medical marijuana dispensaries, it is sometimes hard to discern the ones who are trying to make a quick buck and those that are earnest in their endeavour to help patients find lasting relief from their ailments. The Station, however, is not one that is lost in the trees but stands out as an example of individuals truly working with patient care in mind.

Patients stepping into the warm, wood-crafted interior of the Station find a place where there needs are not only met, but understood. Store manager, TJ Angelo, explained that he entered into the field as a result of his mother’s suffering through cancer. He said that it was seeing how medicinal marijuana helped her that opened his heart to helping others find the right treatment for their suffering.

“This is what got her through it,” Angelo said.

That type of care comes into play as Angelo works everyday with patients suffering from cancer, severe arthritis, sleeping disorders, devastating pain, and a host of severe ailments that restrict patients from experiencing a life to short to waste in unhappiness. He said that he and the dispensary’s other bud tender, an Iraq veteran whose use of medical marijuana helped him through wounds received in service to this country, develop a personal relationship with customers, partnering with them to find to find a marijuana solution that reopens the doors to a better life.

That perspective goes into the development and growth of each one of the Station’s medicines. As a result, the dispensary offers a line of fully-organic marijuana fertilized by top dressing and shop-brewed compost teas. And it further provides a non-organic line of strains grown with Canna, a Dutch nutrient that enhances bud development both in size and potency.

Known for the strength of their Diesel and Kush strains that are used to treat serious pain and sleep problems, the Station’s organic and non-organic medicines allowed to flourish without chemical pesticides used by other growers. Their process of using fully organic alternatives to harsh treatments ensures that patients’ medicines are full of healing cannabinoids, not harmful pesticides.

The stations strains are so effective for use in patient care that they breed 15 different seeds from their strains.

While the store specializes in its bud growing, it also offers an extensive selection of edibles and marijuana concentrates that, like its marijuana bud medications, are carefully tailored to provide the best results for a variety of ailments and patient concerns.

Every day Boulder area residents suffering symptoms caused by medical ailment or pharmaceutical medication step into The Station where they find a natural remedy to help them experience again a fruitful and productive life. If you are suffering and have wearied of pharmaceutical medications or simply want a dispensary that is working to help you, you could do no better than a trip to The Station.

Karing Kind’s organic-vegan line of medical marijuana offers patients relief from their ailments while caring for the flora and fauna of the world we share.

For centuries, humankind has been using nature’s medicine, marijuana, to treat many of its most difficult maladies. While some stores continue to use pesticides and chemical treatments to produce their medications, Karing Kind’s commitment toward patient care inspired them to harness organic technologies to produce medical-grade cannabis that is both potent and Earth conscious.

“The organic-vegan line is important to us because we believe the quality of our medicine is important, if not more important, as the quality of the food we eat,” Dylan Donaldson, the owner of Karing Kind, said. “What is better than organic-vegan.”

Karing Kind painstakingly mixes 100 percent organic soil with a small amount of bat guano and worm castings to grow 90 percent-vegan marijuana medicines. Whether patients take advantage of the dispensary’s selection of marijuana concentrates, in-house Nepali Hash — made through a monk-perfected, organic technique – or a wide variety of organic indica, sativa and hybrid strains to treat their medical needs, they can rest assured they are using a completely natural product that is free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

“All MMJ products are consumed into the body in many ways by patients, and we know it is important to have the cleanest and safest medicine available,” Donaldson said. “This is why we do not use pesticides of any kind.”

Opening July 1, 2010, on the day dispensaries were legally recognized in Colorado, Karing Kind helped its first patient rekindle a passion for life through the benefits of medical-grade marijuana. Since that time, the dispensary staff has guided thousands of patients on their path towards a life absent of both suffering and pharmaceutical narcotics.

“My mission is to get patients off of narcotic pharmaceuticals and on to what Mother Nature has provided to us for thousands of years for relief,” Donaldson said. “Many of our patients have succeeded or are on their way to this transition.”

With a discreet location just outside Boulder, the dispensary serves its patients in an inviting environment that allows illness sufferers of all ages the comfort of working with a knowledgeable staff to find the medication that solves their individual needs.

Karing Kind’s staff has been trained to use both product knowledge and customer insights to pair patients with medical solutions. They have succeeded in helping patients suffering from Crohn’s disease, HIV, arthritis, spinal injuries, and chronic pain using natural cannabinoid treatments offered by the dispensary.

Patients have been finding freedom to live their lives without the life-altering side-effects of pharmaceuticals for years through the benefits of nature’s medical marijuana. Karing Kind is committed to continuing that tradition by providing a growing number of Boulder’s illness sufferers an organic, 90 percent-vegan line of medical solutions that holistically cares for those it serves.
